The Snack Table Showdown — VBS Skit for Kids (10 min)

A 10-minute VBS skit on jealousy and forgiveness that retells Genesis 4 without ever saying "Cain and Abel." Two siblings argue at the snack table — one brought juicy strawberries in a glass bowl, the other brought a half-eaten cracker on a napkin. Jealousy boils up faster than any kid expected. A jury of two looks on. A ridiculous voice from an empty chair warns the slighted sibling that jealousy is sitting at the door. The narrator names the brother in Genesis 4 who didn't shut that door.

Theme — Jealousy is sitting outside your door right now. You can let it in or you can shut the door.
